In the Daily Mirror recently there was a brief article on what the next animated DVD releases could be. All of The Macra Terror and the missing episodes of The Wheel in Space are apparently the next to be animated. It is slightly understandable why these would be next. They already have the assets to the Season 4 characters (minus Jamie). I'd have thought they would have animated two from the same season. But I suppose they think that Wheel in Space would be a better seller than The Faceless Ones or The Highlanders. I suppose if they do them in pairs next they will join up a popular or important story with one that is less popular!

Don't get too excited. This is just a photosnap reconstruction, not animation. Info here: https://twitter.com/themindrobber/status/1022239725850120193

This is not an official anybody, its just a guy on twitter, and besides people misguide truth all the time, so until someone official clears all this up, I don't believe a word of it.

I think what this "just a guy on Twitter" says is more likely than an animation. For a start, this title has not been listed on the UK site. If this were being animated, it would be released in R2 (and, likely before R1). This is only a US release so far. It's been suggested this is a US exclusive (like the 3D "Dark Water" was).

I see absolutely no reason to think this will be completed with animation...unless a couple of episodes have been returned that no-one knows about.
